The effects of pH on the increase of fluorescence yield measured in the microsecond range, and on the microsecond delayed fluorescence have been studied in dark adapted chloroplasts as a function of flash number. (1) At pH 7, the amplitude of the fast-phase of the microsecond fluorescence yield rise oscillated as a function of flash number with period 4 and with maxima on flashes 1 and 5, and minima on flashes 3 and 7. The damped oscillations were apparent over the range between 6 and 8, although the absolute amplitude of the fast phase was diminished at the lower end of the range. At pH 4, there was no fast phase in the rise and, at pH 9, an enhanced fast-phase occurred only for the first flash. (2) The decay of microsecond delayed fluorescence was described by the sum of exponentials with half-times of 10--15 mus and 40--50 mus. Over the pH range 6- less than 8, the extrapolated initial amplitude and the proportion of the change due to the faster component showed oscillations which were opposite in phase to those observed for the prompt fluorescence yield rise; the slower component showed weaker oscillations of the same phase. At pH 4, there were no oscillations and the slow phase predominated. At pH 9, the delayed fluorescence intensity was diminished on the first flash, and high on subsequent flashes. (3) The results are interpreted in terms of a model in which protons are released during all transitions of the S-states with the exception of S1 leads to S2, and in which ther are two sites of inhibition on the donor side of the photo-system at extreme pH values. At pH 4, electron donation to P+ occurs with a half-time approx. 135 mus, either by a back reaction from Q-, or from D; electron transport is interrupted between Z1 and P. At pH 9, electron transport is inhibited between Z1 and Z2; rapid re-reduction of P+ by Z1 occurs after 1 flash, and on subsequent flashes electrons from D, an alternative donor reduce P+. The location of the positive charge on states S2 and S3 is discussed.
